Weddings!

Our summer has been full of love! On July 3rd we got to celebrate with Quyen's brother Sean and his wonderful bride Sara at The Alderbrook Resort in Union, WA. What a beautiful setting it was on the shore of the Hood Canal! Quyen was the best man, Olivia the flower girl and Tavian the ring bearer. They all did a great job and the ceremony was so lovely. Later in the evening during the reception Tav was getting antsy so I took him for a walk outside along the dock and was truly caught up in the beauty of this place. Rustic elegance. I just loved it and look forward to a day when Quyen and I can return for a little weekend retreat of our own. During Quyen's toast he talked about how well Sean & Sara compliment eachother and it is so true! We adore Sara... she is such a great addition to our family! It was an awesome weekend with our family and friends. Congratulations O'Laughlin's! We love you guys!! Then on August 1st our dear friends Dave & Angela tied the knot at Red Barn Farms in Colton, WA. Another awesome venue! I am lacking the actual stats but I do believe it was the hottest day of the summer. In fact both of our kids got sick from the heat and sadly had to miss the wedding. This left the wedding party 1 flower girl short but the other 9 fulfilled their duties perfectly and all was well. It was a gorgeous evening and a very emotional wedding for us. We introduced Dave and Angela about a year and a half earlier and they are a huge part of our daily lives. We love them dearly and so look forward to a lifetime of dinner parties, popcorn nights and growing old together! Angela is truly the queen of crafty details so I must share a few of her efforts. She thought of everything!
